(First time on market since built in 1966, estate)   But its 1/2 mile walk to light rail,  1/4 mile from chief sealth trail and a mile to kubota garden,  Territorial view,   unmolested 2 car garage,   hardwoods throughout need repair but salvageable,  etc.   

The homes will be around 1000-1200 sqft and the community will have amenities such as a community garden, walking trail, and random fire pits throughout so people can enjoy being outside.

It needs a lot of cosmetic and upgrades ($40k - $60k) worth of flooring, kitchen, gardening, patio floor, pool, etc.I don't plan on moving plumbing or electrical. 

Design principle from a master gardener: Create an element of surprise in your landscaping design. 

Broken blinds, broken door hinges, broken door locks, paint applied to walls that didn't match, broken faucets in the shower, broken tiles in the shower stall where the tenant said they 'slipped', paint rings on the patio floor, a garden in a HOA that had been allowed to get overgrown - on and on. 

The renter's husband unscrewed the water from the washer to connect the garden hose to the water connection and ran the hose outside to wash his car while the other water hose was in use, forgot what, maybe kids playing in the sprinklers. 

People have to bathe outside with a garden hose though.

Lawn / garden care, pool care etc?

Oh, it had it's French Quarter back and the Garden District was nice again but any other area still had a lot of vacant houses.

I've noticed that several Olive Gardens use it.
